An Underrated MCU Icon Just Took a Trip Back to the X-Men’s Greatest Era
One of the greatest Marvel heroes of the modern era is taking a trip back to what might be the most important chapter in X-Men history.
The preview pages see that Legion has come to the present, finally, and Ms. Marvel and the modern-day X-Men have to take him on in a major battle that shows off Adam Kubert's stunningly dynamic pencils (one of the cool things about having Kubert involved in this project is that he is one of the few artists around who is a star NOW who was also a star 30 years ago, so there's a mixture of eras here).
Cyclops and Wolverine also seem to team up with Cyclops blasting Wolverine's claws to try to tag Legion with the refracted force blasts, as Legion is easily moving out of Cyclops' blasts (and Wolverine's stabbing attempts).
The issue will also feature a back-up story by Jed MacKay and Cafu setting up the Age of Revelation crossover. Here, we see Destiny and Mystique dealing with some ominous portents...
